Hey guys, I have a little question. I remember seeing a magician do, and explain, a Miser's Dream with 2 coins (possibly even 1 coin), but now I can't seem to find it from anywhere. Anyone have any idea where I might find it? I thought it was David Williamson, but going through his material, I can't seem to find it.

I remember the scene from the DVD, the magician was in a suit, and was performing for a woman, the view was from the performers right side. I think he produced the coin with his left hand, and then passed the coin to his right hand, and put it to his right pocket. In the act of transferring the coin from right to left, he took a different coin from the right, and produced that next. I really thought it was David Williamson who I saw do this, but now I have no idea.

Sounds like David Stone's basic coin magic.

Right. Must be the routine using what he calls "the Transfer" in his Basic Coin Magic DVD (les bases de la magie des pièces).

Yeah it was, thanks for the help

It's from Coin Magic DVD.

Gregory Wilson published his version of the Sylvester pitch, which wasn't nearly as good as Dan's technique, but not too bad.

Sylvester is one of the most underated talents in magic.

:applause:
I agree: Dan Sylvester is somebody special in our community.

When I perform the Sylvester Pitch at times, one child will tell another it is comig from my sleeves. That is why my sleeve are rolled up for now on.

Sylvester is genius in so many ways, I don't know why isn't better recognized or booked mnore often on conventions.

I'm currently working on miser's dream using kainoa stack transfers and sylvester pitch, but its more slowly routine than that fun dan has

Skillzilla does the routine you are thinking of use two coins and a handkercheif?
